Anyplace with good habitat a little predator control. WITHIN PHEASANT COUNTRY should have a wild pheasant population. If not, it's probably NOT good habitat or run over with all kinds of critters domestic and wild that EAT pheasants.
If this is the case ALL pen raised pheasant have NO chance of survival.:cheers:

spot on!
This is has so many implications, where to start?
what would the whitetail populations be without quality habitat? how about quail? why does RMEF spend so much time, money and effort on habitat for elk? how about the mule deer habitat? big horn sheep habitat restoration?
trout stream restoration? lake restorations? prairie chicken habitat restoration? land management practices, rotational grazing, fire - on and on and on
game and fish focus on habitat (when they are not concerned about $; now that is a completely different thread)
obviously these are rhetorical questions but the focus of any landowner wanting to improve "game" numbers should be habitat, habitat and habitat!
the payback isn't immediate but it is long lasting and more beneficial
back to jmac's original post about programs to provide landowner's with game for reintroduction - I have looked into that further and it seems like at least where I am at the programs have been abandoned, the game and fish have taken it upon themselves to do all the reintroductions, they do not rely on the landowners for anything more than land - habitat
